Maker's Mark? Sorry if that's not helpful, I just know we sold a lot of that at Lukas when I worked there.

I've always been a fan of 1792. Usually about $27-$30 depending on where you look.

Yeah, you knew that. That was at the OP store, right at about the same time that the MO store first opened back in '05.

Stacey Lukas hired me when I told her that I knew more about beer than her entire staff combined and then got fired/quit herself (I never found out which) within like a month and a half. Then Harry decided out of the blue that after I'd been there for like 3 months that Brad and I both needed to cut our hair short or they were going to fire us.

Good times.

That does sound familiar. I'm sure you told me midway through a big tasting so it didn't stick in my brain. The hair thing is pretty much the same which is dumb.
